To Honor My Hero

To honor my hero. 
    A wee superhero. 
      Has shoplifted my heart 
        Autistic, but so smart. 

  Place him in shopping cart
    Grandma can we see toys; 
      He makes such welcome noise.
         Look at that,

  Look at that. 
    Look at the bubble, 
     A bubble in a bubble. 
        Bubbles going faster. 

  My living-room a disaster. 
    A wee superhero the master, 
      He came into my life 
        In a time of bitter strife.

  My wee bug
    Welcomes with bear hugs. 
      To honor my Hero
        A wee superhero.

The child got suspended for pushing him into a chair and splitting his cheek open. The black eye looks bad I am glad it wasn't worse. Hope you are doing well....

Valsa George Date: 7/22/2022 10:17:00 PM Love your super hero ! He deserves all attention and praise ! I like him placed in a shopping cart ! All the best in the contest, Eve. Login to Reply Eve Roper Date: 7/23/2022 12:48:00 PM Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Valsa. I sometimes allow him to walk by myside, but he gets too anxious and tries to wonder off, so I have to keep a close range on him.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/22/2022 12:00:00 PM Aww…he is a doll! Login to Reply Eve Roper Date: 7/22/2022 12:11:00 PM I am so very Proud of him. Thank you, Kim.

L Milton Hankins Date: 7/22/2022 10:45:00 AM Eve, how very blessed you are to have this young man in your life. He seems delightful. You have written a fine tribute he'll always remember. Login to Reply Eve Roper Date: 7/23/2022 12:52:00 PM It's his Autism that makes him repeat, Like the third stanza. He loves his bubbles. When I say please be quiet he interns whispers the same sentence a few more times until something else takes his interest. I've started carrying my iPad so he can occupy himself with it. L Milton Hankins Date: 7/22/2022 3:34:00 PM I think he must want to make sure you heard him correctly! Eve Roper Date: 7/22/2022 12:12:00 PM He repeats all his sentences , but I love him. Thank you, Milton.
